The Sound of Musik: The Greatest Hits

On the eve of what would have been his 65th birthday, Sony Austria are to issue a new Falco best of called The Sound of Musik. This presents the singles in chronological order from 1981’s Ganz Wien to 1998’s Out of the Dark. There’s a few notable rarities, including the radio version of ‘Body Next To Body’ which was only used on a German promo seven-inch in 1987. This version loses Brigitte Nielsen’s moans before the verses (!) and Falco’s rap at the end. This has never been made available digitally or on CD. Also ‘Data De Groove’ is the full length version which was only on the first edition of the 1990 German CD. (Super Deluxe Edition)
